CHECKS ON AN IMAGINARY BANK.
People All Over the Country Seem 60

1cVRAc All OveH une COuntry Seem 10
Have Been SWindled.
CHICAGO, March pa special from Detroit says:
A big bank swtndle has been discovered here
which appears to have been almost national in
the breadth OF its operations. Some parties have
had engraved drafts and checks OF the "Marlette
Exchange Bank, or Marlette, and these have been
filled out for various sums from $50 10 SO each
and have been negotiated throughout the coun-
try. For two or three days past these fraudulent
papers have been coming into the First National
Bank OF this city from all parts OF the Union for
collection. One which came In yesterday is fair
sample. 1t was drawn for $56.50 and was signed
by John b. Martin, cashier" There is no such
institution as the Marlette Exchange Bank OF
Narlette. That village has but two banks and
uonal Bank OF Marlette. The extent OF the
fraud is not KNOWN but IL appears to have been Of
great magnitude.

A special from ottawa to the New York Tribune
says: Captain Gordon, commander of the HUDSON b
Bay expedition OF 1885, in his report 20 the gov
ernment, says: .sThe fisheries OF our northern sea
are well worthy OF careful consideration and Will
repay those who undertake their development.
The whole OF the fishing and trading done In
the Hudsonis Bay region is at present In the
hands OF the Hudson's Bay company and New
England whalerS, mostly the latter. The
whale fishing, walrus hunting and por-
pose fishing are capable OF great exten-
sion, and are certainly profitable pursuits since
the Americans can afford 10 keep ships In COM
mission for eighteen months In order 10 fish there
less than 1our. 1 would strongly urge the neces-
slty OF protecting these fisheries ana In any nego-
uations with the United States government In
reference TO the rights OF United states citizens
fish in the territorial waters or Canada, the value
OF the Hudson's bay and straits region fishing
ground should be strongly insisted Oh Under any
circumstances we should retain the rights 10 pre-
scribe the methods used. Every United States
whaler that goes into Hudsons bay Is an un-
licensed trader"

and fisheries Will Introduce protective measure

Rector Ward Arrested.
HIS WIFE, 1T Is SAID, HAS CONSENTED TO TESTIFY


AGAINST HIM.
Rector Charles w. Ward was arrested at his
house In Englewood, n. j., Tuesday. Lately a
fear arose that his friends would have him CLAN
deStinely removed from the state. There was also
areason Tor delay. MI. Ward was the only wit
ness OF the shooting, and although arrest could
be made on the complaint or any citizen, it would
be impossible TO secure a conviction without her
testimony, and she was beyond the jurisdiction OF
the New jersey courts. IL was understood that
she did not care 10 prosecute her husband, but
would be content 10 secure divorce or separation
from him. Last Saturday il was decided 10 make
the arrest. Private assurances had been received
that Mrs Ward would be on hand TO testify when-
ever she was needed. Yesterday Marshal Jameson
made a formal complaint, charging him with an
attempt 10 murder nis vile. Awarrant was given
to Constable Charles &. TOWNSEND. MI. Wards
lawyer, j. b. c. Drew, was present at the time OF
its service. Mr. ward sat up In bed, and the war;
rant was read TO him. He made no comment The
constable retired 10 the parl0r, and he Will remain
in the house until Mr. WARD gives bail is able 10
be removed 10 jail He expects 10 have bonds
man ready to-day. II is said he Will waive an ex-
animation.
Rector Ward gave bail wednesday In the sum OF
5000.
